tequila

Tequila is a Mexican distillate, which can be produced with this name only in the Central American country - and more precisely in the state of Jalisco, starting from blue agave - the latter due to the fact that it is exploited for the purpose of obtaining a distillate, is called agave tequilana. Depending on the percentage of blue agave content, tequila is more or less pure, and sugar cane or, alternatively, corn syrup can also be added to this. Tequila is generally characterized by having an alcohol content of between 35 and 45 degrees, and it is obtained through two distillations.
